KEWAUNEE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ)- After 25 years, the Kewaunee County landfill is closing.
“Kewaunee County will no longer be accepting waste to put into the Kewaunee County landfill.”
Todd Every, Kewaunee County Highway Commissioner says a decision by the Kewaunee County Board will result in capping off the landfill that opened in 1983.
“It has gone through two phases, and we are at the end of filling up phase two.”
Every says a decision was made due to economic projections.
“In the consideration of moving into phase three, that is where it became not cost-effective.”
He says for those who use the services, they will not notice much of a difference, except for one subtile change.
“It does not seem like there is going to much of a difference other than what the pricing is for the private contractor.”
May 25th is the last day that waste will be accepted.
The private contractor plans to open to the public on Tuesday May 29th.
